Since learning that the little devil sent an infantry brigade to reinforce Zaozhuang, the troops of the Eighth Route Army who followed the first column in Shandong were somewhat worried about the situation in Zaozhuang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In their opinion, the little devil is obviously killing chickens with a knife this time.

Even the appearance of this infantry brigade made the Zhongyan army, which was fighting behind enemy lines in Shandong, seem quite worried. Some of the anti-Japanese war troops to be active near Zaozhuang have also entered full alert and are ready to evacuate at any time.

The anti-Japanese war troops, who originally thought that they could finally rest in winter, were still somewhat afraid of the little devils' heavy troops gathering in Zaozhuang. Some commanders of anti-Japanese war units even complained that the task force had stabbed such a hornet's nest.

Even if the Japanese army from Jining has not yet arrived, with the actions of the anti-Japanese war forces, many people in Zaozhuang also know that Zaozhuang is afraid that there will be another chaos in Zaozhuang, which makes many people also worried.

But for Zhao Tiehu, the matter has already happened, so find a way to solve it. An infantry brigade that looks very intimidating indeed. But that doesn't mean they're completely incapable of resisting.

When he was in Yushe, Zhao Tiehu dared to take a hundred people to Qi County to sabotage, and now that he has more troops in hand, why don't he dare to compete with a brigade of little devils?

What's more, in Zhao Tiehu's view, the real lions and elites of a hundred battles have been tempered through bloody battles. With the help of this opportunity, we may be able to truly train a anti-Japanese war force with a military soul.

Looking at Zaozhuang City at night, Zhao Tiehu listened to the report of the reconnaissance force and said very calmly: "According to the information sent by the reconnaissance unit, the infantry brigade of the little devil should arrive in Teng County around tomorrow evening."

Therefore, we must break Zaozhuang City tonight and let the infantry brigade of the little devils come here directly. At the worst, let the little devils divide their troops. Only by cutting the infantry brigade of the little devil into several parts will we have the possibility of victory.

The battle in the city is personally led by me and a team of people is in charge, Chengwu, and you are in charge of the command outside the city. Remember, your mission tonight is to attract the attention of the little devils in the city and light up all the cannonballs you brought. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

This time, he led the assault troops to secretly assemble Zaozhuang City, and Zhao Tiehu's plan was to storm Zaozhuang. In order to let the little devil really feel the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu even brought eight artillery pieces over.

Four 75 mountain guns, 4 Type 92 infantry guns. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, with these artillery pieces cooperating with the strong attack, I believe that it will also be a great deterrent to the little devils in Zaozhuang City, forcing them to continue to ask for help from their superiors.

Half an hour later, the shelling was launched on time. Unless the gates are opened, you are not allowed to attack. What you have to do is to block the reinforcements of the little devils who may arrive, and then shift the position of the artillery bombardment every once in a while.

Specifically, I'll have people shoot flares to give you the target to fire. If Zaozhuang City can really be defeated tonight, I believe that the harvest of this battle will be very rich, and it will also greatly deter the arrogance of the little devils. ’

It is clear that with the robbery of the military train, the destruction of the Xinpu Railway, and the news of the destruction of the Zaozhuang Coal Mine, I am afraid that many people's attention will be shifted to Zaozhuang. I believe that many people are looking forward to the final result of this battle.

After deploying the battle plan outside the city, Zhao Tiehu, who entered the city, looked at Chen Wan, the newspaper operator who came out together, and said: "Xiao Wan, wait for your newspaper team to stay in the rear with the large army, ready to receive the information from the detachment at any time."

If the detachment sends information and the troops deployed by the little devils on the railway line retreat back to Zaozhuang, call back to the detachment immediately, and let our demolition team launch a surprise attack on the remaining troops of the little devils on the railway line. Remember? ”

'Yes, detachment leader, I remember! Be careful! ’

In the course of the previous ambush of the Little Devil Army, a detachment seized a low-power radio station in the carriage where the troops were seated. With this radio station, Zhao Tiehu can get in touch with the detachment at any time even if he goes out.

Speaking of which, the task force now has three radio stations, one of which was also captured by the third detachment at the previous coal mine. It's just that the weight of that radio station is not light, and it is not suitable for carrying operations.

And this time, Zhao Tiehu also hoped to capture some more radios during the battle, so that the three combat detachments of the task force could be equipped with radios. This will also play a great role in the joint operations of various detachments of the detachment in the future.

When he went out to fight this time, Zhao Tiehu originally did not agree with Chen Wan to serve as an accompanying operator. But in the end, Chen Wan still insisted, and said that the rest of the newspaper operators are not proficient in business ability in sending and receiving newspapers.

With no choice, Zhao Tiehu finally agreed to Chen Wan as the accompanying operator. Just to ensure her safety, Zhao Tiehu also arranged a reconnaissance team to protect the safety of the radio team.

After arranging the affairs of the troops outside the city, Zhao Tiehu quickly sneaked into Zaozhuang City with the assault detachment. Even if the situation in Zaozhuang has been tense recently, as Jining sent heavy troops to help, the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zaozhuang also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that no one would have thought that the Eighth Route Army, which had always dared to operate only in the countryside and in the mountains, would dare to launch an attack on a military city like Zaozhuang. But for Zhao Tiehu, what he is best at is doing crazy things.

The more others think it is impossible to happen, the more Zhao Tiehu will challenge. With more than 200 elites, he dared to touch Zaozhuang, a heavily garrisoned city, and I believe that in the eyes of many people, it is an act of looking for death.

Zhao Tiehu, who led more than 60 elite combat team members to successfully infiltrate the Zaozhuang garrison headquarters, quietly waited for the arrival of the attack moment. This kind of combat action was also defined by Zhao Tiehu as a decapitation operation.

As long as the Zaozhuang garrison headquarters is successfully defeated, it is believed that the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zaozhuang will also fall into a situation of scattered sand in a short time. Even if the infantry brigade arrives, it will have to find a way to clean up this mess.

Li Chengwu, who was in charge of commanding the operation outside the city, saw that the time given by Zhao Tiehu had arrived earlier, and immediately said: "Notify the artillery detachment to start shelling!" Each blocking team pays close attention to the movements of the surrounding little devils. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Li Chengwu, who was only a squad leader at the time, gradually gained the momentum of some officers as he gained rich combat experience and served as a detachment leader for a while. He is undoubtedly still happy to follow Zhao Tiehu to fight this time.

Although the deputy captain of the task force is Song Dabao, Li Chengwu knows very well that Zhao Tiehu is also not thin on him. Let it stand alone, and also serve as the chief of staff of the task force.

If the task force is upgraded to a newly formed independent regiment next, then Li Chengwu also has a chance to become the regimental chief of staff. And all this, just because he followed the right person, the promotion became so rapid.

Replaced by other comrades-in-arms of the old third company, some of whom are now serving as squad leaders. It can be said that everything he can have today is due to Zhao Tiehu's support. For this reason, Li Chengwu was still very happy to be able to follow Zhao Tiehu out to fight.

The first artillery to fire was eight mortars carried by the assault force, and the target of the attack was the city gate where the little devils were stationed. With eight mortars rising into the air, the Japanese puppet army stationed at the city gate also looked stunned.

'Enemy attack! Shelling, there are sneak attack troops outside the city firing artillery! ’

The sudden sound of artillery bombardment made the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zaozhuang fall into a stunned state in an instant. After the three rounds of mortars, four infantry guns with a longer range were added to the shelling sequence.

Faced with the scale of the intensified artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops in the city were also surprised and said: "Baga, this is our infantry artillery." Damn it, who the hell dares to attack us? ”

Just when the little devil was briefly surprised, four mountain guns immediately joined the shelling sequence. The target of the four mountain guns was the Japanese military camp not too far from the city gate. This sudden shelling also plunged the little devil camp into chaos.

'Baga, it's a mountain cannon! Dodge, dodge! Stay out of the fire! ’

Amid the screams and angry voices of countless little devil officers, the Japanese troops, who were about to rush to the city gate for reinforcements, soon fell into a panic and evaded artillery fire. And Zhao Tiehu, who has been lurking, is quietly waiting for the arrival of the surprise attack.

Seeing that the little devil camp was caught in a burst of artillery fire, Zhao Tiehu also said quickly: "Start the shelling, prepare for the assault!" ”

The two mortars and grenadiers carried by the assault team, after Zhao Tiehu's order, fired shells at the garrison headquarters at the moment at the same time. This sudden attack made the Japanese troops in the garrison headquarters stunned for an instant.

'What about that?' Shelling? How is this possible? ’

As mortars and grenades fell, the entire garrison headquarters was instantly plunged into an explosion and gunsmoke. Because the power plant was destroyed earlier, the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang now also choose to light torches and oil lamps.

The searchlights that were previously placed near the city defenses are now completely useless. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Tiehu and his entourage were given an opportunity. After all, there is no comparison between torch oil lighting and searchlight lighting.

Some of the Japanese puppet troops who rushed to the city gate to defend were also startled in the face of the sudden artillery bombardment and sharp gunfire from the garrison headquarters. Even the most stupid person knows that someone has entered the city and is attacking the garrison headquarters.

'Go back the way you came, prepare for the rescue headquarters!' ’

Compared with the danger at the city gate, many little devil officers felt that the garrison headquarters was more important. But if you want to return to the garrison headquarters for rescue, how can it be easy?

After all, attacking the garrison headquarters didn't take many people at all in Zhao Tiehu's opinion. Most of the troops he brought into the city were assigned to block them. Therefore, the real battle next revolves around the garrison command.

This kind of small-scale encirclement and reinforcement is believed to also weaken the strength of the defenders in the city to a large extent. As long as the little devils want to rescue the garrison headquarters, they can only rush hard. And this kind of hard rush will undoubtedly have to pay a heavy price!
